Tobacco Private sector speaks out on the proposed tobacco bill
Last week Gauteng engaged in Public hearings on the proposed tobacco bill which among other things proposes a ban on the sale of single cigarettes (loose draws) and the public display of nicotine products. The Tshwane leg of the public hearing was marred by allegations that some people were not able to enter the venue to air their views. Last week we heard the views of the National Informal Traders Alliance - NITASA - who say their members will be negatively impacted by the proposed tobacco bill in it's current form. We also spoke to Bongani Mshibe who is the Director of Corporate Affairs and Communications at Japan Tobacco International.
